It's either very clever writing with a great ability to stay in character throughout the different threads, or a crystal clear reason for chlorinating the gene pool.

Perfectly said. That is what makes Gilberg's writing so compelling. I can't figure out if he is really a 45 yr old subtle genius or a 15 yr old special needs kid

Pop Quiz

Since this is the spelling & grammar thread, it seems appropriate to ask here:  how would "Geep" be pronounced?  Hard G or soft G?  I have the final say on this since I asked the question and therefore am all-knowing on this subject.

Edit: I actually looked it up and turns out I'm correct anyway .

I think the "G" sound in this case is "HUH"... Special pronunciation exception that is seldom used....

Makes you wonder - don't people even glance at what they have just typed?

And yes, they make 9 woods but why? I think it's got the flight and distance of like a 7i.

That's what bugs me the most. Typo's happen, no biggie, doesn't mean someone is dumb. But Damn, some of this is just pure laziness. Just a cursory proof read, that's all I ask.

Or just click spell check, make it worth my while to read it. I mean c'mon, that last one was even in giant font .

RE: 9 woods. I've heard of (never seen) 11 woods and even 13 woods.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

With woods like those, who needs wedges?

If I ever start putting something like this in my bag, all of you have my complete permission to beat me totally senseless (with whatever club you chose), confiscate all my golf gear, and put me on the TSA "Do Not Golf" watch list.

Imagine how much fun it is managing a bag with 14 woods in it! I assume the putter would be a mallet!

I wonder how big the divots from that thing can get?  I'd love to see Bubba try and hit a trap-draw with that thing.  May take out half the fairway.

Took me a couple also. I was just staring at the two words going 'I don't see anything.....oohhhhhh, duh!'

I know lessons are important, but will I learn to hit my clubs as much as I will work on mechanics and me?

Hopefully this isn't too confusing of a question.

His hope had no chance.

This one is beautiful because it is so short and simple, but you read it over 10 times and still go 'Wha......?'

    • Day 106: did a stack session. 
    • Day 292 - Filmed some swings focusing on the same thing (setup, grip, wrist at the top).
    • Day 182 (31 Oct 24) - Shorter session today.  Worked with the 5i - setup, alignment and overall tempo - hitting into the net.  
    • Thanks! It actually briefly dropped to 5.8 at some point in July, but it felt like it was too rich for my blood every moment of the whole two weeks I held the 'level' for me to sustain it. The term 'impostor syndrome' comes to mind.. :-)) I have certainly done better than I have in the previous years to stay the course in how and what I have practiced but yes, it's a high probability that I'm leaving a lot on the table.    
    • Dang... in the realm of things that probably don't matter all that much, golf slumps are the worst. Yes definitely consult a pro ASAP. Get back to hitting it solid again. Hitting the sweet spot solves a lot of problems. For me it's always the latter. My confidence grows as I hit more and more solid shots, which are the result of continuing to improve my swing thru better concepts, better practice, etc.  Yea, this for sure. And also, without a professional there to let you know you "did it better this time" it can be unnecessarily frustrating and confounding working alone. It's not that you can't work alone; clearly, you can. But during rough patches, it's always smart to consult professionals. Lessons are an amazing place to take new concepts and turn them into feels that you are confident will work. It's still really cool you consider this your best ever season. Congrats on hitting 7.8 this year!
